RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority benefit under Title 35 § 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/583,459, filed Jun. 28, 2004, and 60/612,563, filed Sep. 23, 2004, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.

FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention relates to compounds that inhibit the protein tyrosine kinase activity of growth factor receptors such as c-Met, thereby making them useful as anti-cancer agents. The pharmaceutical compositions that comprise these compounds are also useful in the treatment of diseases, other than cancer, which are associated with signal transduction pathways operating through growth factor and anti-angiogenesis receptors such as c-Met.

BACKGROUND

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), also known as scatter factor (SF), because of its ability to disrupt colony formation in vitro, is a mesenchymally derived cytokine known to induce multiple pleiotropic responses in normal and neoplastic cells (Sonnenberg et al., J. Cell Biol. 123:223-235, 1993; Matsumato et al., Crit. Rev. Oncog. 3:27-54,1992; and Stoker et al., Nature 327:239-242, 1987). These responses are known to include proliferation in both epithelial and endothelial cells, dissociation of epithelial colonies into individual cells, stimulation of motility (motogenesis) of epithelial cells, cell survival, induction of cellular morphogenesis (Montesano et al., Cell 67:901-908, 1991), and promotion of invasion (Stella et al., Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. 12:1357-62, 1999 and Stuart et al., Int. J. Exp. Path. 81:17-30, 2000), all critical processes underlying metastasis. HGF has also been reported to promote angiogenesis (Bussolino et al., J. Cell Biol. 119:629-641, 1992). In addition, HGF plays a critical role in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and normal embryonic processes, all of which are dependent on both cell motility and proliferation.

HGF initiates these physiological processes through high affinity binding to its cognate receptor, the Met protein tyrosine kinase receptor, an identified protooncogene (Park et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:6379-83, 1987 and Bottaro et al., Science 251:802-4, 1991). The mature form of Met consists of a highly glycosylated external α-subunit as well as a β-subunit with a large extracellular domain, a transmembrane segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. Ligand engagement induces Met dimerization that results in an autophosphorylated activated receptor. Activation of Met promotes signal transduction cascades as defined by transphosphorylation of key cytoplasmic tyrosine residues responsible for recruiting multiple effector proteins (Furge et al., Oncogene 19:5582-9, 2000). These include the p85 subunit of the PI3-kinase, phospholipase Cγ (Gaul et al., Oncogene 19:1509-18, 2000), Grb2 and Shc adaptor proteins, the protein phosphatase SHP2 and Gab1. The latter adapter has emerged as the major downstream docking molecule that becomes tyrosine phosphorylated in response to ligand occupancy (Schaeper et al., J. Cell Biol. 149:1419-32, 2000; Bardelli, et al., Oncogene 18:1139-46, 1999 and Sachs et al., J. Cell Biol. 150:1375-84, 2000). Activation of other signaling molecules has been reported in HGF stimulated cells, most notably Ras, MAP kinases, STATs, ERK-1, -2 and FAK (Tanimura et al., Oncogene 17:57-65,1998; Lai et al., J. Biol. Chem. 275:7474-80 2000 and Furge et al., Oncogene 19:5582-9, 2000). The role of many of these signaling molecules has been well established in cell proliferation.

Met, also referred to as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR), is expressed predominantly in epithelial cells but has also been identified in endothelial cells, myoblasts, hematopoietic cells and motor neurons. Overexpression of HGF and activation of Met has been associated with the onset and progression in a number of different tumor types as well as in the promotion of metastatic disease. Initial evidence linking Met to cancer has been supported by the identification of kinase domain missense mutations, which predisposes individuals to papillary renal carcinomas (PRC) and hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) (Lubensky et al., Amer. J. Pathology, 155:517-26, 1999). Mutated forms of Met have also been identified in ovarian cancer, childhood HCC, gastric carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, colorectal metastasis (Christensen et al., Cancer Res., 63:7345-55, 2003; Lee et al., Oncogene, 19:4947-53, 2000 and Direnzo et al., Clin. Cancer Res., 1:147-54, 1995). In addition, further evidence supporting the role of the Met in cancer is based on the overexpression of HGF and Met receptor in various tumors including thyroid, ovarian and pancreatic carcinomas. It has also been demonstrated to be amplified in liver metastases of colorectal carcinomas (Rong et al. Cancer Res. 55:1963-1970, 1995; Rong et al., Cancer Res. 53:5355-5360, 1993; Kenworthy et al., Br. J. Cancer 66:243-247, 1992 and Scarpino et al. J. Pathology 189:570-575, 1999). TPR-Met (an activated form similar to BCR/Abl in CML) has been described and identified in human gastric carcinoma (PNAS 88:4892-6, 1991). In patients with invasive breast carcinoma and in a recent study in non small cell lung cancer patients, expression of either the receptor or ligand is a predictor of decreased survival, further linking Met to tumor progression (Camp et al., Cancer 86:2259-65 1999 and Masuya et al., Br. J. Cancer, 90:1555-62, 2004). In general, most human tumors and tumor cell lines of mesenchymal origin inappropriately express HGFR and/or HGF.

Numerous experimental data support the role of HGF and Met in tumor invasion, growth, survival and progression ultimately leading to metastases. Preclinically, transgenic expression of HGF results in a metastatic phenotype (Takayama et al., PNAS, 94:701-6, 1997) and an amplified/overexpressed Met spontaneously transforms NIH-3T3 cells (Cooper et al., EMBO J., 5:2623-8, 1986).

Biological agents, such as ribozymes, antibodies and antisense RNA targeting either HGF or Met have been shown to inhibit tumorogenesis (Stabile et al., Gene Therapy, 11:325-35, 2004, Jiang et al., Clin. Cancer Res, 9:4274-81, 2003 and Genentech U.S. Pat. No. 6,214,344, 2001). Thus, selective, small molecule kinase modulators targeting Met are expected to have therapeutic potential for the treatment of cancers in which Met receptor activation plays a critical role in the development and progression of primary tumors and secondary metastases. HGF is also known to regulate angiogenesis, a process critical in tumor growth and dissemination. Therefore, there is a potential for this class of modulators to impact angiogenesis-dependent diseases as well that may include among others, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, obesity and inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis.

The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium crosscarmellose, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example, magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to mask the unpleasant taste of the drug or delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a water soluble taste masking material such as hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose or hydroxypropyl-cellulose, or a time delay material such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate buryrate may be employed.

Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water soluble carrier such as polyethyleneglycol or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.

Aqueous suspensions contain the active material in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose, saccharin or aspartame.

Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisol or alpha-tocopherol.

Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening, flavoring agents, preservatives and antioxidants.

Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative, flavoring and coloring agents and antioxidant.

The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous solutions. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution.

The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable oil-in-water microemulsion where the active ingredient is dissolved in the oily phase. For example, the active ingredient may be first dissolved in a mixture of soybean oil and lecithin. The oil solution then introduced into a water and glycerol mixture and processed to form a microemulation.

The injectable solutions or microemulsions may be introduced into a patient's blood-stream by local bolus injection. Alternatively, it may be advantageous to administer the solution or microemulsion in such a way as to maintain a constant circulating concentration of the instant compound. In order to maintain such a constant concentration, a continuous intravenous delivery device may be utilized. An example of such a device is the Deltec CADD-PLUS.™. model 5400 intravenous pump.

The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension for intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

Compounds of Formulas I and II may also be administered in the form of a suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol.

For topical use, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing the compound of Formula I are employed. (For purposes of this application, topical application shall include mouth washes and gargles.)

The compounds for the present invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles and delivery devices, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen. Compounds of the present invention may also be delivered as a suppository employing bases such as cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol.

When a compound according to this invention is administered into a human subject, the daily dosage will normally be determined by the prescribing physician with the dosage generally varying according to the age, weight, sex and response of the individual patient, as well as the severity of the patient's symptoms.

If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the dosage range described above and the other pharmaceutically active agent or treatment within its approved dosage range. Compounds of Formulas I and II may also be administered sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration; compounds of Formulas I and II may be administered either prior to or after administration of the known anticancer or cytotoxic agent(s).

Certain compounds of Formulas I and II may generally be prepared according to the following Schemes 1-16. The compounds are synthesized readily using synthetic methods known to one skilled in the art. Tautomers and solvates (e.g., hydrates) of the compounds of Formulas I and II are also within the scope of the present invention. Methods of solvation are generally known in the art. Accordingly, the compounds of the instant invention may be in the free or hydrate form, and may be obtained by methods exemplified by the following schemes below.

In general, the desired fused heterocycles can be prepared using the synthetic routes outlined in Schemes 1-3. The leaving group (Lg), such as a halogen (or triflate) of a heterocycle (A, whereby open positions may be optionally substituted) 1 can be displaced with a substituted phenol 2 to provide ether 3 (Scheme 1). Groups A-Lg can be prepared according to the general procedures outlined in, for example, Hunt, J. T. et al. WO 00/071129; Hunt, J. T. et al. J. Med. Chem. 2004, 47, 4054-4059; Leftheris, K et al.

Reduction of the nitro group of intermediate 3 with, for example either zinc dust and ammonium chloride or Adam's catalyst (platinum(IV) oxide) under catalytic hydrogenation conditions can furnish the aniline 4. Treatment of the aniline 4 with an isocyanate 5 (X=O) or isothiocyanate 5 (X=S) affords the desired acylurea or acylthiourea 6, respectively.

-   Lg=leaving group, such as a halogen -   X=O or S -   G is O, S, or NR²¹ -   D is CR²⁰ or N -   V=as defined above

Alternatively, the appropriately substituted aniline 7 can be treated with an isocyanate 5 (X=O) or isothiocyanate 5 (X=S) to give the phenol 8 (Scheme 2). Reaction of intermediate 8 with a heterocycle (A-Lg) 1 can provide the desired compound 6.

-   Lg=leaving group, such as a halogen -   X=O or S -   G is O, S, or NR²¹ -   D is CR²⁰ or N -   V=as defined above

In general, amide derivatives described in the invention can be prepared using the chemistry outlined in Scheme 3. For example, aniline 9 (derived from Scheme 1) can be acylated with compound 10 to provide amide 11. Hydrolysis of the ester 11 with, for example sodium hydroxide can afford carboxylic acid 12. Desired compound 13 can then be obtained from intermediate 12 using known amide-bond forming conditions. Alternatively, aniline 9 can be converted directly to compound 13 using carboxylic acid 14 and a coupling agent, such as benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(trimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate, 1-(dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, or bromotripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate. Treatment of aniline 9 with an acid chloride 15 (X=Cl) or a carboxylic acid 15 (X=OH) and a coupling reagent can provide amides of the type 16.

-   G is O, S, or NR²¹ -   D is CR²⁰ or N -   V=as defined above

A substituted heterocyclic derivative, for example pyrrolotriazine compound 26a/b (Scheme 5), can be prepared using the synthetic routes outlined in Schemes 4 and 5. Carboxylic esters, wherein R can be an alkyl or an aryl (such as phenyl) 17 can be contacted with no less than 2 equivalents of an alkyl or aryl organometallic agent such as a Grignard reagent, organolithium, organozinc, etc. to produce the tertiary alcohol 18 (Scheme 4). The reaction is generally performed in an ether solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, dibutylether, or diethyl ether, or any other non-reactive solvent such as benzene, toluene, or hexane, for example. Tertiary alcohol 18 can be treated with a mixture of acid in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or organic peroxides such as t-butylhydroperoxide, cumenehydroperoxide to affect the rearrangement to hydroxypyrrolotriazine 19. Almost any acid could be used as the catalyst for the oxidative rearrangement, the reaction has been demonstrated with organic acids, mineral acids, and Lewis acids. Some acids which have been used for this type of reaction include: p-toluenesulfonic acid, methansulfonic acid, formic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, BF₃—OEt₂, trifluoroacetic acid, acidic zeolites, and acidic ion exchange resins. The concentration of the acid can be varied, the concentration and strength of the acid is used to control the kinetics of the reaction. The concentration of the peroxide can be varied from 30-50%. Any reducing agent which reacts to decompose hydrogen peroxide could be used in the quenching of this reaction, including, but not limited to sodium metabisulfite, sodium hydrogen sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, sodium hydrosulfite. A variety of bases can be used while quenching the reaction to control the pH. Hydroxypyrrolotriazine 19 can be reacted with a variety of acylating reagents, to furnish 20 (where, for example, P can be pivalate ester). Compound 20 can be contacted with an appropriate halogenating agent (for example, phosphorous oxychloride, POCl₃) to afford 21 (L=Cl). Other reagents can be used to accomplish this transformation besides POCl₃, including PCl₅, mixtures of PCl₅/POCl₃, PhP(O)Cl₂, SOCl₂. Usually an amine is used to catalyze the reaction, including Et₃N, PhNMe₂, DABCO, etc. Additionally, formamides such as, for example N,N-dimethylformamide and alkylamides such as N-methylpyrrolidinone can also be used to catalyze the reaction. The reaction can be run in any solvent inert to the haloginating agent, including benzene, toluene, THF, etc.

The appropriately protected imidate 21 (Scheme 5) can be treated with an optionally substituted phenol 2 to provide intermediate 22. Phenol 23, derived from deprotection of compound 22 (using sodium hydroxide in the case where P=pivalate) can be converted to ether 24 via a Mitsunobu reaction with an alcohol. Reduction of the nitro substituent of 24 using the same conditions described above in Scheme 1 can furnish the aniline 25. Conversion of aniline 25 to the desired acylurea, acylthiourea or amide 26a/b can be accomplished using chemistry previously described in Schemes 1 and 3.

Amine compounds 30 can be prepared using the chemistry described in Scheme 6. Reduction of ester 27 with for example, diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) can provide alcohol 28. Oxidation of compound 28 with for example Dess-Martin periodinane (1,1,1-tris(acetyloxy)-1,1-dihydro-1,2-benziodoxol-3-(1H)-one) can afford aldehyde 29. Reductive amination of aldehyde 29 with an appropriately substituted amine in the presence of a reducing agent, such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride can furnish the desired amine 30.

Various substituents, such as optionally substituted aryl, heteroaryl or vinyl groups can be introduced onto the 5-position of the pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine ring using the chemistry outlined in Scheme 7. The aminopyrrole derivative 31 can be cyclized in the presence of formamide to produce 5-chloropyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-4(3H)-one (32). Treatment of intermediate 32 with POCl₃ in the presence of a base, such as Hunig's base at elevated temperatures can afford 4,5-dichloropyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine (33). The coupling of an appropriately substituted phenol 2 with compound 33 in the presence of a base, such as potassium carbonate can provide intermediate 34. The nitro group of 34 can be reduced using zinc dust and ammonium chloride to generate the aniline 35. Palladium-mediated coupling reactions with various boronic acids can provide intermediate 36, which can be converted to the desired compounds 37 or 38 using chemistry described above.

Substitution at the 5-position of the pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine ring can also be accomplished by coupling the triethylammonium salt 39 with an appropriately substituted phenol 7 followed by treatment with an amine (HNR′R″) in the presence of a base, such as Hunig's base to afford the aniline 40 (Scheme 8). Aniline 40 can be further processed as described previously to produce the desired compounds 41 or 42.

Alternatively, 5-methyl-4-(methylthio)pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine (43) can be brominated with, for example N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in carbontetrachloride at elevated temperatures (Scheme 9). Treatment of the bromide intermediate with an amine (HNR′R″) in the presence of a base, such as Hunig's base can provide intermediate 44. Oxidation of the thiomethyl group of 44 can be accomplished with, for example 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA). Treatment of the sulfone intermediate with the phenoxide generated from compound 7 and sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaHMDS) can provide the aniline intermediate 45.

The pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine intermediate 50 can be prepared using chemistry outlined in Scheme 10. 4-Chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (49) can be obtained from commercially available 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (46) using the synthetic sequence described by Thibault C. and coworkers (Org. Lett. 2003, 5, 5023-5025) which is illustrated in Scheme 10. Treatment of intermediate 49 with the phenol 2 at elevated temperatures can afford the key intermediate 50, which can be converted to the desired compounds using chemistry described in Schemes 1 and 3.

Incorporation of various substituents on the 3-position of the pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine ring can be accomplished using chemistry described in Schemes 11 and 12. For example, acylation of intermediate 50 with 2-bromoacetyl chloride in the presence of aluminum trichloride can provide compound 51 (Scheme 11). Treatment of intermediate 51 with an amine (R″R′NH) or thiourea, followed by subsequent reduction with zinc dust and ammonium chloride can provide the anilines 52 and 54, respectively.

Alternatively, protection of compound 50 with, for example (2-(chloromethoxy)ethyl)trimethylsilane in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride, followed by bromination with NBS can provide intermediate 55 (Scheme 12). The bromide 55 can then be treated with substituted alkynes 56, arylboronates/arylboronic acids 57, or vinylstannanes 58 in the presence of a palladium and/or copper catalyst to afford the intermediates 59-61, respectively. Removal of the protecting group of 59-61 with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) followed by reduction of the nitro groups can provide the corresponding aniline intermediates, which can be acylated using chemistry previously described in Schemes 1 and 3.

Incorporation of various substituents at the 2-position of the pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine nucleus can be accomplished using the chemistry outlined in Schemes 13 and 14. The protected azaindole derivative 62, derived from compound 49 (Scheme 10) can be treated with n-butyllithium at low temperature followed by triisopropylborate (Scheme 13). The requisite intermediate can then be hydrolyzed to generate the boronic acid 63. Coupling of the boronic acid 63 with various aryl or heteroaryl halides 64 can be accomplished using a palladium catalyst to furnish intermediate 65. Removal of the protecting group of 65 with TBAF can afford compound 66, which can be treated with phenol 2 at elevated temperature to provide the intermediate 67. Compound 67 can be further modified to furnish the desired compounds using similar chemistry described above.

Alternatively, compound 62 can be converted to iodide 68 using chemistry described in Scheme 14. Intermediate 68 can be coupled with a variety of reagents, such boronic acids, organostannes or substituted olefins in the presence of a transition metal catalyst [i.e., Pd(OAc)₂—cf. Chi, S. M. et al. Tetrahedron Lett. 2000, 919-922] to give 69. Intermediate 69 can be converted to the desired analogues using chemistry previously described.

The pyridinone intermediate 74 can be obtained by a two step process beginning with commercially available (E)-dimethyl 2-(3-methoxyallylidene)malonate (70) (Scheme 15). Thus, treatment of compound 70 with an amine or aniline 71 at room temperature can provide intermediate 72, which can then be cyclized in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride in dimethylsulfoxide to generate 73. Hydrolysis of intermediate 73 under basic conditions can provide the desired pyridinone intermediate 74, which can be coupled to various anilines as described in the aforementioned Schemes.

The pyridyl N-oxide intermediate 78 (Scheme 16) can be obtained by a two-step process in which the commercially available 6-bromopicolinic acid (75) is coupled with boronic acid or borinate 76 in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst and sodium carbonate, followed by oxidation of the requisite intermediate 77 at elevated temperature. Intermediate 78 can then be coupled to various anilines as described in the aforementioned Schemes.
